Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Em C
Been walking on a tightrope
G D
Juggling high hopes and reality
Em C
Just trying not to mess up
G D
Tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
Em C G Bm
I can't outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Quick to judge the ones we love
G D
Sometimes I forget
[Chorus]
N.C. Em C G
It's your first time on Earth too
Em C G Bm
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
Em C
It's just pain that you were passing down
G D
I'm older, and I see it now
Em C G
It's your first time on Earth too
[Verse 2]
Em C
Orange bottles in the cabinet
G Bm
Tryna kill a habit that was killing you
Em C G
Back then, I didn't get that you gave me the best
Bm
That you knew how to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
You were far from done growing up
G Bm
When you had a kid
Em C
Quick to judge the ones we love
G D
Sometimes I forget
[Chorus]
N.C. Em C G
It's your first time on Earth too
Em C G Bm
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
Em C
It's just pain that you were passing down
G D
I'm older, and I see it now
Em C G
It's your first time on Earth too
[Interlude]
G G6
[Bridge]
Em C
When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you
G D
Just 'cause I'm angry sometimes, don't mean I don't miss you
Em C
You had your issues and I had mine
G Bm
Oh, I'd forgive you if we still had time
Em C
I was still young, I couldn't see
G
The world on your shoulders
Bm
You traded your dreams
Em C
For me, for us, is that just life?
G
Nobody ever gets everything right
[Chorus]
N.C. G Bm
It's your first time on Earth too (Oh-oh)
Em C G
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
Bm
You know I don't blame you
Em C
It's just pain that you were passing down
G D
I'm older, and I see it now
Em C G
It's your first time on Earth too
Been walking on a tightrope, juggling high hopes and reality
Just trying not to mess up, tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
I can't outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid
Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget
It's your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too
Watch bottles in the cabinet, tryna kill a habit that was killing you
Back then, I didn't get that you gave me the best that you knew how to do
You were far from done growing up when you had a kid
Quick to judge the ones we love
Sometimes I forget
It's your first time on Earth too
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too
When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you
Just 'cause I'm angry sometimes, don't mean I don't miss you
You had your issues and I had mine
Oh, I'd forgive you if we still had time
I was too young, I couldn't see
The world on your shoulders, you traded your dreams
For me, for us, is that just life?
Nobody ever gets everything right
It's your first time on Earth too (Oh-oh)
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you (You know I don't blame you)
It's just pain that you were passing down
I'm older, and I see it now
It's your first time on Earth too
